I just created my first VCD and am *hooked*! I went out and bought an external USB CD-Burner to carry with me to work and, for some reason, VCDEasy can't see it. It shows up in explorer, I can burn to it with the native Windows XP utilities, but it doesn't show up at all in the drop-down menu in VCDEasy. Any suggestions?

Secondly--a quick question here. I'm now downloading all sorts of things off the web to burn, and some are in .mpg and .avi format (which I now know how to convert!). However, some files are in .bin format and .cue format. What do I do with these? They say they are "VCD Ready". Thus, do I just copy them to a CD? All of my VCD-authoring has been through VCDEasy, thus I don't know what files it actually creates on the CD. And details would be appreciated! (I tried to find a section here about what files actually make up a VCD or SVCD but didn't see anything. Is that info on this website? If so, I'd love a link to it).
